Fun Dad Dean & Wife: Unfiltered

S2 Ep5: The Mental Load Reloaded - “Not Arguing, Just Debating (Maybe)”

Listen Later

This week, Dean and Sara wade back into the wonderful, chaotic, emotionally charged swamp that is the mental load - and they swear it’s a discussion, not an argument… despite already having an argument about the argument earlier that morning.

With no guest to interrupt them, it’s full unfiltered Dean vs. Sara energy as they unpack:

🔥 What’s Inside This Episode

  • Why mums often end up the default parent (and why Dean sometimes forgets the tumble dryer even exists)

  • Emotional vs. financial responsibility - the invisible tug-of-war

  • How “helping” isn’t helping if it’s your house too

  • Childcare, societal expectations, and why breakfast clubs are both a blessing and a sad indictment of modern family life

  • The constant project management mode of parenting

  • The big question: Should society adapt work to fit parenting instead of forcing parenting to fit work?

  • Why Sara dreams of a world where she can actually cut toenails on time

  • Why Dean would absolutely leave washing up for 24 hours without blinking
